Its hard to avoid the excitement surrounding Bristol City at the moment. I may hail from the blue side of town and have always been more interested in the fortunes of Bristol Rugby over Bristol City and Bristol Rovers, but tomorrow sees a big day for “The City”. The local team take on the giants of Manchester City, having already engaged in the David-like downing of Manchester United. Lets hope they do themselves proud. Manchester City have already endeared themselves by extending a VIP invite to Bristol City ball boy and viral social media sensation Jaden Neale. His celebrations on the touchline with Bristol City manager Lee Johnson will no doubt earn him an honourable mention on next years SPOTY. You can only imagine the tales he’ll be telling classmates when he gets back from meeting Pep Guardiola and the boys. He’ll be dining out on it for years. Its amazing how sport can energise a city and with table-topping Bristol Rugby unbeaten (and playing like a rugby version of Brazil to boot), it looks as though the Damp Dip (as we like to call it) might be about to punch its weight in sporting terms at long last. So here’s to Bristol City as they take on a team that cost more than every single Bristol City team in history. Enjoy yourselves and do us proud.
